This is the iconic titular song by Gene Kelly (1912-1996). During filming, it was said that Kelly had a fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit on the day of the filming of this scene and refused to take a sick day which would have significantly affected production schedules. From the film, this is one of the most intense choreographed moments in cinematic history with its intricate dancing technique executed by Gene Kelly, who was already a professional dancer and choreographer. (part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0asbGJbLKc&t=47s; part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UmaFTEIZ84) Like many of the songs in the film, "Singin' in the Rain" was originally heard in "The Hollywood Revue of 1929" (once with Cliff Edwards with Brox Sisters and then again as a reprise with the entire cast- the link to the reprise is the following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUba07FwXSw). *Exact date of the release is unknown*
